GP-002 “GAME_ON”
January 2024
Designed as the successor to “Game_Over”, development on “Game_On” started almost immediately after the NHRL 2023 Sep. 30 event. The bot was developed over the course of 4 months with the help of Game_U students and staff, as a "remote group project" designed to inspire students and promote the education services Game-U provides. Game_On competed at NHRL’s 2024 January event. and is now on display at Game-U Headquarters in Flemington, NJ.
As of 3/27/24, there are no plans to continue the Game_Over series, and Kinekitsu Combat Group has no further combat robotics work planned with Game-U.
